What’s going on? All the pizza threads are so old they’ve been locked! Sacrilegious!

Anyway today I’ve ordered what I feel is the best pizza on Long Island, Mike’s Underground Pizza! Now he does pizza the right way. Originally years ago Mike’s dad had a pizzeria located in the village of Amityville that was so good, I would take my young family over there for a pie and sit and enjoy it. Then eventually it closed as that town needed a revitalization.

His son Mike opened an excellent restaurant called Vittorio’s in Amityville (across from where the pizzeria once was) over a decade ago and then 3 years ago decided to sell pizza from a ghost kitchen with no storefront. You could only order by phone and they would deliver it to your house. It was an instant hit and blows away all the pizzerias around this area and we are known as MatzoPizza!

Does anyone else order pizza from a restaurant with no storefront?

It arrived, I grabbed the first slice!

in paris las vegas 2 weeks ago they wanted $40 for a 16 inch plain pizza.....and there was a line out the door.

here in ohio i get a 16 inch wiith 2 toppings for less than $15.

fuck em, we may never go back.

Pizza got very expensive after covid and because of the cost of the ingredients and of course inflation. When you once were able to get a plain pie for about $10 around here now a plain pie is at least $20 no toppings at any local pizzeria! Full toppings say sausage is another $8. A slice in Manhattan is nearly $5, here on the Island you’re talking $3.00.

So if I’m paying over $20 for a pie, it better be good with top quality ingredients (many places use the cheap stuff).

Mike’s ain’t cheap but you taste the quality but as you can imagine we only order once in awhile.

i agree.

the place we frequent the most (possibly the best in our whole valley) $12 for a 12 inch with one topping. the other place we really like is $11.50 for a 12 inch and $15 for 16 inch....no toppings. (topping there are $3.50 a pie for the 16 and $2.50 for the 12.

I miss eating pizza semi-regularly. Wheat and cheese haven't been digesting well for me.
And I've never much cared for the substitutions for those.

i would die without pizza and pasta.

i will tell you however that i have been having real digestive issues whenever i eat red meat anymore, i've really been avoiding it,and i do feel better.

It's a long way from the pizza wars of my college days - large plain pizza plus two liters of Coke for $2.50. You just had to wait about two hours for it to show up, and you had to have, let's call it "less than discerning" taste.

We had pizza tonight from one of our favorites. There's a legendary pizza place around here called Vincent's - the namesake used to smoke while he made the pizza, and it was said the cigarette ashes played a part in the pizza. It was very good, tons of toppings, and as far from health food as you'd want it to be. Vincent died, the family licensed the place out to new people to manage it, and it kind of fell apart over financial dealings. A group of former employees opened another place called Shelly Pie using basically the same formula, and for my money, it's as good as Vincent's reputation was.

Side note - Vincent's family did get all their rights back and they reopened the place. They had all new equipment, and it didn't taste the same. We tried it once, didn't like it as much, and said we'd give them a few months to get the kinks worked out and burn some flavor it. But we liked Shelly Pie so much we never went back.

I miss pizzas. Ulcers and acid reflux nixed them in the early 00's.

Alan, that’s a good looking pizza! Save a slice for me!

I like Mona Pizza.

As a kid a favorite Pizza place of mine and many other New Yorkers was Gloria's on Main Street in Flushing, Queens. The Lemon Italian ices were great too. Those were the days. I saw a while back Gloria's has been resurrected in Forest Hills.

I grew up in Whitestone Queens and Gloria’s was a must stop on my travels into Flushing to buy records! It was located near the Woolworth’s where they had cut-out lps. But I did most of my shopping at Korvette’s or Record Explosion or King Karol’s.

Gloria’s was a thin crispy pizza with gooey melted cheese and very oily, it would burn the roof of your mouth.

Still the best slice I ever had in my life.

Korvette's had great prices on lps and King Karol was THE record store for us in Flushing. I frequented them a lot. I worked in the little grocery store Blue Star on Main Street after school in 1974/1975.

2 other places I really liked and frequented in Flushing back then was The Wiz and Crazy Eddie’s (both on Main Street), not for records but electronic goodies like the early Walkmens and some of my favorite boom boxes.

And of course the RKO Keith’s movie theater at Main Street meets Northern Blvd was a grand old style movie palace. Real shame that was allowed to fall apart.

Insane!

Umberto’s Pizza of New Hyde Park LI, still my all-time favorite pizza slice!.Worked that neighborhood for 15 years before I transferred closer to home, still miss it.

If ever in New Haven, go to Wooster Square for the best pizza ever….choose from Pepe’s, Sally’s, Modern Pizza or the Spot. Finish it off with a walk to Libby’s for an Italian ice.

I never posted it here but last Summer I drove up to New Haven and went on a pizza tour, a big peddle bike that holds 15 people and we peddle this thing around lower New Haven to all the pizzerias. We did stop at Pepe’s and Sally’s. It was a 3 hour party with beers and pizza!

My sister lives up by there and they swear by a place called Roseland’s near Shelton CT.

I love New Haven pizza!

Still the King of Long Island pizza, Umberto’s Of New Hyde Park!

that looks wonderful.......i love thin pizza.

shit, i love pizza!
